Manuscript Critique
In addition to the chosen package, I will provide light manuscript critique, free of charge. This includes comments on plot, setting, character arc, pacing, dialogue and more.
FREE 1,000-Word Sample Edit
I understand trusting me with your manuscript is close to trusting me with your baby. It’s important that both of us feel comfortable. That’s why I believe a free trial is essential. You can get a FREE 1,000-word sample edit without any obligation.
This way you can see if we are a good match and if my editing style is the right one for your needs.
Quality & Loyalty
To achieve your best work, you need to give 100%. I chose the editing career because I love books, and I admire authors for their ability to create unique worlds. I want to be a part of these worlds. I want to help you build beautiful places, characters, and stories.
I treat every author and every book with respect. My goal is for you to create the best version of your story. I am friendly and loyal, and I hope we can build a long-term relationship based on mutual trust.
How I Work
After the free sample is done and we agree to work together, the next step is to sign a contract outlining the scope of work, deadlines, and expectations.
I take a 30% deposit to book a slot, 50% before I start the editing, and the other 20% - upon completion. We can also agree on a payment plan for bigger projects. I accept bank transfers and PayPal.
Step 1: First, I draft a contract for you to review and sign. Once the contract is signed, I send a 30% non-refundable deposit invoice to book your slot (I use PayPal). You send me the full manuscript before the starting date.
Step 2: I edit and return the manuscript within the agreed deadline. I provide two files: a Word file with Track Changes on, so you can see exactly what I've done and a PDF file with the changes for reference. You decide whether to accept or reject my suggestion.
I always do three editing passes:
During the first pass, I read the entire manuscript to get familiar with the story and your writing style. In this pass, I only fix glaring mistakes (like obvious typos).
The second pass is fully hands-on: I fix everything that needs to be fixed, make suggestions and comments within the document, flag any potential issues, and make inquiries.
During the third pass, I review the entire manuscript one last time to make sure I didn’t miss anything.
Step 3: Once you receive the edited manuscript, please take your time going through my edits and notes and let me know if you have any questions or comments about my suggestions. This is teamwork, and it's your book, so I would be happy to discuss everything until you feel completely comfortable with the outcome.
